Forget about Aaron Rodgers and his awe-inspiring 15-1 Green Bay Packers. Ditto for Tom Brady and his New England Patriots, the other team with home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. No matter that the San Francisco 49ers have the best rush defense in the history of the world. And who cares that the New Orleans Saints have to play on wild-card weekend, which will likely be their only playoff game at the Superdome.

When the NFL season hits the reset button and begins anew this weekend, the third-seeded Saints look like the playoff team to beat — not just in the NFC, but in the whole NFL.
